Ooooh, this is fascinating!  When you say "dried fish named cabelho", does
the name refer to a particular fish species, or to any kind of fish which is
dried??  There's a stockfish found only off the coast of Southern Africa and
Madagascar, which is a prime eating fish, and which in Afrikaans is called
kabeljou, pronounced "cabble-yo".  The name is apparently derived from the
Old Dutch (according to my housemate's book on S. African fish-species), but
sounds _very_ similar to the Portuguese.   I'm wondering if there was
cross-cultural wossname here, and if so, which way??
